The creator of the Original Bomb Pop is introducing Bomb Pop Middles as a new kind of frozen treat for the summer with a unique texture. Unlike many popsicles that are solid all the way through, these ones are described as having "an ice creamy outside and a gooey decadent middle."
Bomb Pop Middles are offered in flavors like Strawberry Raspberry Taffy and Chocolate Creme Sandwich, as well as Chocolate Caramel Sundae and S'mores, which offer different ways to experience favorite flavors. While the Chocolate Creme Sandwich is cookie-like and can be eaten on a stick, the S'mores variety combines a gooey marshmallow center and ice creamy graham cracker frozen dessert.
